RE: [rtl] How do I unload a crashed module?

[Oliver.J.Enders@aero.org]

Welcome to the club of "segmentation fault".  Sometimes it doesn't rear its
ugly head right away.  You make more changes to your program and you don't
know what caused it.  Only thing I know that works is make frequent backups
and go back to a working version.  Everything is happy again after that :-)
I sure wish there were a quicker way of booting up, perhaps with a stripped
down version of rtl.  Perhaps someone has a suggestion.

As far as I know, the only way to recover from that without rebooting would
be to take your hard drive out and put it in an identical but BRAND NEW
computer. Then, you can power up that computer for the first time and the
problem will be solved. Since it's the computer's first time being powered
on, you can't say you "re"booted.
